Report Planned Cost

Explanation

Use this activity to report the planned cost of a sub contract revision to the connected project activity. The planned cost will be reported automatically when a revision is activated. Select the Report Planned Cost check box if you need to report planned cost before activating the revision.

Only one active revision of the contract can report planned cost at any given time. The cost elements on which the cost is reported to the connected project activities will be derived depending on the posting control setup. The default activity will be used to report cost of all the items that have not been connected to a project activity.

Prerequisites

• The sub contract should be connected to at least one project activity.
• An active revision should exist or the Report Planned Cost check box should be manually selected for the non-active revision.
• Posting control setup should be defined so that the correct cost elements will be updated.

System Effects

Planned cost of the contract revision will be reported to the project cost activities connected to the revision.
